This summer the problem may flip-flop: railroaders could strike, leaving the coal industry without a primary shipping source.

The rail unions are talking tough about contract negotiations which federal mediators are entering today. A strike could end nearly a decade of relative labor peace between rail unions and companies. The brewing dispute is over a variety of issues ranging from wages to train crew sizes. "The railroads are taking a hard line," says Fred J. Kroll, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Airline Clerks, one of more than a dozen unions involved in negotiations with the Industry.

"There's no way I'm going to settle," Kroll said yesterday of offers made so far by the railroads. "If the only way to get what we need Is through a strike, I'll call a strike." The mediation sessions will include officials of the rail industry and seven unions. In addition to Kroll 's group, the talks will involve unions representing signalmen, machinists, electrical workers, carmen, firemen and oilers, boilermakers and blacksmiths. Those unions represent about 210,000 of the 415,000 unionized rail employees, according to the National Railway Labor Conference, the industry's bargaining arm. Rail contracts customarily Involve protracted bargaining, and no one is looking for a quick settlement.

The latest negotiations began last summer, and today's session with the National Mediation Board Is only the start of a prescribed set of steps that may extend the talks into this summer or beyond. While a quick settlement is not foreseen, a strike is not imminent, either. Under the Railway Labor Act, both sides must observe complex bargaining, mediation and cooling-off periods.

One study cited by the investigators found that "nutrition publications intended for the general public and for low-income and under-educated citizens are often written at upper high school and college reading levels." The study found that some publications are so poorly written that they may give consumers incorrect Informatipn. And an examination by the American Association of Advertising Agencies found that six widely distributed nutrition pamphlets were amateurish and "missed the audience they were trying to reach." Even if the government writers produce something informative, consumers may not learn of it, the auditors said. "Agency officials say that if the public finds out about a specific publication, it may ask for it, and consumer demand for that Item may be greater than the agency's publications budget can handle.

NEWARK (AP) Dorothy Allison had a vision and she shared it with police. They found the body of a missing teen-ager. She had another vision, and once again the police found a body. "I would stake my life on her," said the mother of a Lodi teen-ager whose body was found yesterday in a shallow grave in Moo-nachie, almost exactly where Mrs. Allison said it would be.

Nancy Locascio's son, Ronald Stica, 17, had been missing since Sept. 22, she said in a telephone interview. Mrs. Allison "pointed out the exact area," she said. David Menicola, 19, of Lodi, was arrested and charged with the murder yesterday, after Stica 's body was found.

Two years ago Mrs. Allison told police from the New York City borough of Staten Island that the body of 14-year-old Susan Jacobson was located in a marshy area, in sight of two bridges and an abandoned car, and near the letters and The girl's skeleton was found Saturday by three boys who were muskrat hunting in a marsh at a Staten Island shipyard. The body was found in a 55-gaIlon oil drum at the bottom of a 12-foot shaft in an area that fit the psychic's description. About 200 feet from the shaft, high on a rock-, were the red-painted letters "MAR." Staten Island police could not explain how the lettering got there or what It meant. Lodi police detective John Pizzuro said Mrs.

Boy Removed From His Home HUTCHINSON, Kan.

(AP) A boy found in a filthy, unlit room has been removed from the care of his parents, who have been charged with endangering the life of a child, a misdemeanor. Authorities said the boy, 16, has the mentality of an Infant, the physical appearance of a 9- or 10-year-old, and has spoken only two words "apple" and "car" since he was taken from his parents' home on Friday. His name has not been released. Yesterday, the boy's parents, Doiph and Elizabeth Hagerman, signed a letter of consent allowing the boy to be token to the Kansas Neurological Institute at Topeka for a 90-day evaluation. Hagerman and his wife have been released on $5,000 bond, pending a preliminary hearing.

A custody hearing has been set for April 5 to determine if the county, which now has temporary custody of the boy, should continue to care for him. If convicted, the Hagermans face maximum sentences of one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. IVJ. Lottery March 28. 1978 Pick-It 323 Straight Bet $232.50 Box Bet Nona Front or Back Pair $23 Pa.

But the victim was found because of a tip from another person connected with the case, he said.

Mrs. Allison, who has worked with police for 10 years and claims she has located 20 bodies, said she had been aware of her psychic powers since childhood. "When I was little, I would tell people different things and they called me a witch," she said. Her psychic power is "like turning on a television set in my mind," she said. "I really don't know how it comes to me, but It's spontaneous.

I don't go into a trance or any nonsense like that." Some law enforcement officials are skeptical about her powers. "We just don't believe in psychics," said Bergen County Prosecutor Roger Breslin, although he admitted his department had consulted her in a 1970 case. Mrs. Allison knows there are skeptics "because, frankly, there are a lot of phonies around. But the police contact me.

And my track record is excellent." The Nutley housewife refuses to take money from parents searching for a missing child. "My husband has a good job and supports me.

force, and told reporters afterward that the PLO would place "all our military capacities" at the disposal of the peace unit. In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim said Arafat informed him via Erskine "of his acceptance of my call for a general cease-fire." But Arafat did not tell the reporters in Beirut that, and Erskine said: "Whether they will stop firing or not, I can't tell." Arafat's Al Fatah guerrillas, the biggest' of the Palestinian military organizations, said they were obeying orders from the PLO high command to fire their guns only in response to Israeli attacks. Only scattered shooting incidents were reported Tuesday. Israel reported one of Its soldiers was wounded, and the Christian Voice of Lebanon radio station claimed eight guerrillas were killed.

weeks ago. Sources said the Egyptian leader indicated he would sign a peace treaty if Israel agreed to withdraw from all territory it captured in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and would accept a temporary U.N. force in the territories. Israel has rejected total withdrawal and in its latest proposal calls for negotiations on the basis of Security Council Resolution 242. Another major roadblock to Egyptian-Israeli agreement is the future of the Palestinians.

Begin 's latest peace proposal, revealed Monday, calls for "participation" by the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in negotiations with Israel, Egypt, Jordan and the rest of the Arabs in Israel. Sadat demands full self-determination for the Palestinians. Egyptian Foreign Ministry officials in Cairo said the latest proposal ignores the estimated 2 million Palestinians living in other Arab countries. In Beirut, Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, told the commander of the U.N. peacekeeping troops in Lebanon the PLO would support U.N.

efforts to disengage Palestinian and Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. BEIRUT (AP) Palestinian radicals vowed to sabotage the cease-fire in southern Lebanon despite Yasser Arafat's pledge that the Palestine Liberation Organization will do all it can to help the new U.N. peace force establish a buffer zone between the Israelis and the guerrillas. "There is no cease-fire as far as we're concerned," said a guerrilla commander from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine at the village of Amoun. "The United Nations can do nothing," said one of his men.

"If they try to stop us, we will fight them, too." They claimed they were continuing hit-and-run raids behind Israeli lines south of the Litani River. Another radical guerrilla group, the Popular Democratic Front, vowed to keep fighting "until the enemy is defeated and expelled from south Lebanon." Arafat met yesterday with Maj. Gen. WASHINGTON (AP) The federal government spends about $70 million a year to Inform the public about nutrition. But it doesn't know whether the material is useful and sometimes even tries not to let people know what's available to them, government auditors report.

"Many consumers do not know or do not understand how to select and prepare foods that provide a sound daily diet," said the General Accounting Office report. "They are confused, uninformed and lacking In confidence about what they eat." In fiscal 1976, the year the congressional watchdog agency selected for review, the Department of Agriculture spent $63.5 million and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare spent $5.8 million for nutrition pamphlets, bulletins, handbooks and educational materials. But the auditors said neither department has determined what consumers need to Police Officer Slightly Injured In Store Fire RED BANK A borough police officer was slightly injured and a section of Broad Street blocked off last night for about half an hour when a garbage fire spread into a storage shed in the rear of Prown's House Furnishings Store, 32 Broad St. The fire, which was reported by Patrolman Robert Scott Jr. at 9:17 p.m., caused extensive damage to the shed, which is connected to the main building, Fire Chief Ray Weston said.

Patrolman Scott discovered the fire while making his routine checks of the buildings, Volunteer Fireman Peter DeFazio said. Scott was burned as he tried to put the fire out with his hands, according to De-Fazio, who is also a borough patrolman. He was taken to Riverview Hospital. A hospital spokesman said he suffered minor Durns on his face. Weston said the fire was confined to the shed and no damage was done to the store.

The shed is used to store outside screens and storm windows, Robert Eisner, the owner said. Eisner could not determine the amount of losses but said it was "extensive." He said the garbage was usually stored there until the borough made its pickup. Weston said about 65 firemen fought the fire, which was contained in about 20 minutes. The cause of the blaze is not known. Eight Win Terms On Coalition For Human Services FREEHOLD Eight persons were elected yesterday to two-year terms on the Monmouth County Coalition for Human Services.

Those elected were Barbara Powers, Holmdel Township, Willis Luster, Keyport, Herbert Frankel, Red Bank, DeLouise Snooke, Little Silver, Joan Sinderman, Fair Haven, Michael Chuse, Tinton Falls, Hattie Williams, Long Branch and James Scales, Neptune. The coalition is made up of 30 members, 15 appointed to three-year terms by the Mon mouth County Board of Freeholders and 15 elected to two-year terms by county residents, Benjamin Benton, coalition administrator said. Benton said approximately 50 persons voted in the election and there were no contests for any of the two-year seats. He said three seats were still available on the coal-tion and county residents interested in serving on the panel should submit resumes. The coalition, a citizens advisory group, was formed to assist officials in deciding how human services monies should be spent.

Benton said human services' funds include those alloted to Planned Parenthood and care centers. ployees, says he might be able to call a strike by late August, but that depends on the mediation board. The board determines when efforts for a mediated settlement should be abandoned and could extend the talks into next year. Congress also can block a strike by passing emergency legislation as It did in 1970. Industry officials would not comment on the negotiations.

Saudi Arabia Pushes For Sale of Jets WASHINGTON (AP) Saudi Arabia has hired a former political associate of the American ambassador to that oil-rich country to lobby for a controversial plane sale. The effort to improve their chances of receiving the 60 F-15 warplanes cost the Saudis a $65,000 retainer to a public relations firm headed by Crawford Cook, according to a source familiar with the contract. Cook managed the campaign of the U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, John C. West, when he ran successfully for governor of South Carolina in 1970.

The Saudis have also enlisted the aid of Frederick G. Dutton, a politically well-connected Washington lawyer, and Stephen Conner, a former vice president of Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner Smith, in the lobbying effort, the source said. "They (the Saudis) thought they had sort of an arrangement with the U.S. government (to buy the jets)," said the source who declined to be identified. "But then the Israeli lobby got involved "They (the Saudis) just decided that the Israeli lobby had declared psychological war against them." The source said hiring the public relations firm represented intensified Saudi efforts to influence Congress and American public opinion.

But he added that it represented only a fraction of the lobbying effort of the Israelis. President Carter has proposed selling the jet planes to Saudi Arabia as part of a weapons package to the Middle East. The sale also would include 50 F-5E fighter jets to Egypt and 15 F-15s and 75 F-16s to Israel. However, Israel has criticized the proposed sale as a danger to its security. Israel's supporters in Congress have mounted an effort to veto the sale.

West and Cook were unavailable for comment last night. In today's editions, however, The Washington Post quoted Cook as saying he will argue that the sale is in the U.S. interest. Cook, who is a partner in the firm of Cook, Ruef, Spann and Weiser, said a Saudi purchase of warplanes from France would be more dangerous to Israel because the United States would have no control over their use. Cook also noted Saudi Arabia's role as a moderating force in the Middle East, an opponent to sharp increases in oil prices and a supporter of the beleaguered U.S.

The cold killed her infant son and forced amputation of her feet, fingers, thumbs and part of her buttocks. Doctors say Mrs. Kimble, 23, will be in the hospital at least four more weeks to be fitted with artificial limbs.

All that is left of her hands are stubs. "Why take my baby?" asked Mrs. Kimble, about her 20-month-old son, Timothy. "He didn't do a thing wrong and I didn't do nothing wrong. I wish God had taken me instead.

I wish I stayed inside the trailer and thought to turn the oven on in the kitchen." Weather Forecast: Monmouth and Ocean Counties Mostly sunny today with highs in the mid-50s.

Asks Referendum by Arabs From Page 1 "This isn't right, and I said so in America," Begin said. Meanwhile, one of Begin 's top aides said Begin will send Defense Minister Ezer Weiz-man to talk with Egyptian officials soon, following up a personal letter he sent to Sadat yesterday urging resumption of Israeli-Egyptian peace negotiations. Begin urged Sadat to come up with new responses to Israel's latest peace proposals. In a letter given to U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis for delivery to Sadat, Begin called on the Egyptian president to reactivate the military and political negotiating committees set up after their Christmas Day meeting in Ismailia, Egypt.

The committees have not met for 10 weeks. Begin told members of Parliament at a closed meeting yesterday that Weizman, who headed Israel's delegation to the military talks in Cairo, might return to the Egyptian capital and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan might go to Washington. Begin 's letter was in reply to one from Sadat the prime minister received about two.
